As you know, 2010 DeMatha wing Victor Oladipo was in Bloomington over the weekend for an official visit. He was spotted at the football game and now a video has surfaced on YouTube of Oladipo throwing down some dunks with Maurice Creek.

This is the kind of situation that makes following recruiting interesting. According to both Scout and Rivals, Victor is a 3 star player with little or no national status. But the list of schools that have offered him is fairly impressive and includes IU, Marquette, ND and Xavier and the kid has received interest from Pitt, BC, UVA, MD and others. Makes me wonder about what coaches see in him and how that is different from the ratings services. Also leaves me wanting more video, especially of him handling the ball in the open court, shooting off screens and playing D against a player of equal physical ability.

Also, and I don't really know why, but I get the sense that Victor is going to commit to IU.

Dave I get that same feeling and we probaly could thank mo creek for his recruiting as they have known each other for some time. According to ESPN Vic has a solid perimeter game and has “rip hamilton” type of energy, as he plays in motion all the time. I see vic and KI closing out our 2010 class along with D. Will…….

ALso I saw Mo Creek in this video, there was someone else dunking as well, not sure who it was.

Diesel Kelvin Sampson would have done that and IU would have lost more scholly's…..hey at least we know the guy has street clothes type hops…

Per Hoosier Scoop, Victor just committed to IU. Radar working well.
